Spindles Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 7 hours ago, eFestivals said: I've heard they're playing. Could be right could be wrong, but is probably right. Fantastic news. I've wanted to catch them live for years but they never seem to play the festivals I attend, or only play them the years I don't go. There is something about the rhythmic nature of their lyrics that makes pretty much any of their songs easy on my ear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDayman Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 This makes me happy, a true band of my teens. I listened to them a lot back in the late 90's early 00's and by pure coincidence, I started listening to them quite a bit again over the last few months too. Also saw them at Witnness in '01, they sounded great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubic Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Been wanting them to play for years, but they haven't showed up despite being fairly active. So considering they're not doing anything at the moment, this is pretty surprising. Hope it's true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSmurphy Posted April 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 I'm dreaming of a run on Saturday Other Stage of Chemical Brothers, Placebo, Interpol, Johnny Marr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any more info on where they would play? I guess the problem is when you announce them is you never know whether you are getting the real thing or not. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking "that's funny, I'm sure I've seen them more than once there", realise now that's over a very very very long period of time!

dccool Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Great news always wanted to catch them. Probably clash if they play late JPT slot so I'm hoping for an early pyramid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyPorter Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Stunned by this, literally no one predicted them and what a name to get on the next poster hopefully. An instant must-see for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparx Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 I missed this yesterday! This would be a massive addition to the lineup. If they're headlining a stage it's going to be clash central. There's no chance they would win a clash battle on Friday or Saturday, and Sunday would be a huge headache between them and Janelle. Subbing the Other stage would probably do the least damage for us.

zeppelin Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Really hoping they're on Friday (not a headline slot) or Sunday (probably any time). My Saturday is already stacked so I'll be pretty peeved if they're on then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padjeq Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Wasn't much of a fan until I saw them live at Leeds in 04. A great addition to the daylight part of the festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, I hope wherever Placebo are, they're on Sunday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 In theory the info for Placebo should be spot on. However, I'm currently thinking there's a decent chance that something was misheard or misunderstood. So it might be completely wrong . I've no idea, and I don't have a way of finding out.

deadpheasant Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Was this completely duff then or is there a chance they've got one of the TBA slots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt they're a big enough draw with a Glastonbury audience to be one of the TBA's. Would surely garner a bit of a muted reaction. Definitely more likely to just be duff info.

Joshuwarr Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Would make a good sub on The Other Stage, similar to the evening slot Pixies and Smashing Pumpkins have done in recent years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster86 Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Could the information efestivals was told for 2019, actually have been for 2020?? I'd love to see them there! Edited February 16, 2020 by Robster86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
